I would ask to see the acute pain team to get your analgesia sorted out. Tramadol, MST and oxynorm is maybe not the best combination.

To a certain extent pain relief can't totally get rid of post op pain, persevere with the physio unless it is doing actual damage. Is your Vasculitis flaring at all, you may need an increased dose of prednisolone on the short term.

Thanks Keyes day 6 now down to my usual meds supplemented by 60mg codiene phosphate and 1 mg paracetamol,pain getting tolerable,no sign of a flare yet! Bruising very heavy,hopefully onwards and upwards,orthopaedic surgeon did comment that he did uncover more inflammation than expected,
